I bought a 12 by 20 Rhino shelter and this is what I did (maybe Overkill as
well).
 Made a frame out of pressure treated 4 x 4 with 2 by 4s, 24-inch on
center.
Attached everything with timberlok screws.
 Filled it in with 3/4 inch stone and bought a 8 inch square tamper to tamp
the stone down to be level with the frame. Did this tamping effort several
times adding Stone where required.
Then I stapled thick plastic sheeting over the whole shebang.
Three-quarter inch exterior plywood was then screwed into the
pressure-treated frame. It's pretty bomb-proof.
I did my best to level the terrain prior to construction of the foundation.
